1st Person Traveler's Report.....Heaven is the ultimate retirement haven

Image via Wikipedia

Not to make light of a subject that really has a very serious side....but a lot of 'us' are going to retire, forever, Heaven you know.  This edition of Frank Dimora's excellent newsletter features an interview with a guy name Dean Braxton.

Dean is unique among most Earthlings because I actually died (in a hospital) and went to Heaven and was there with Jesus and God for (in Earth time) an hour and fourty five minutes.  His story here, as discussed with Frank Dimora, is very interesting. 

It ought to be very exciting to those of us who know the Lord and it might be a timely message to some of you who might be thinking about such things and especially trying to make sense of current events.

Can there be any doubt.....Jesus is coming?

Image via Wikipedia

I know there's a substantial portion of my readers who think I'm 'over the edge' in posting stuff about The Lord and Bible prophecy and the End Times and all that stuff.  That's fine with me.  Because I suspect there's also at least a few of my readers who are themselves 'on the edge' about the events unfolding before us today and who would like to have a better understanding.

It's been some time now that on a daily basis  I look on Drudge report and a few other news sources I use specifically to connect the dots between Bible prophecy (which I happen to know a lot about) and the current events of the day.

The Bible says tells of the signs of the End Times coming upon us like birth pains of a mother in labor.  I've never been married and of course I've never had a baby so I don't know what that's like from personal experience.  But I've read about and I think I know all I need to know to understand what Jesus meant when He described how these series of cataclysmic, interconnected events would increase in frequency and severity in the years and months just prior to His return for His Church.

With what I'm seeing just in these last few day, I don't see how any rational person can doubt that something really unusual is going on.  I'd like to highlight on just a few of such events in this post.

Here's a few videos for your consideration.

If there is a "God"....how do you think he feels about this?

Image via Wikipedia

If you take this article at face value, it won't be long now before human beings become god-like. 

Why...?

Because of the geometrically increasing advances in technology and science.

If such a thing were to happen, do you think we're ready to handle it?

I don't think so.

If there is such a thing as an inner, hidden, power 'elite' do you think they think we're ready to handle it?

I don't think they do.

I think there is such a group and I don't think they think the average person is (1) capable of handling such power or (2) worthy of it.  I think they think that only they are worthy of assuming the reigns of the new technological oligarchy that should run the world.

The other thing to remember is......... do you remember the story of The Chaldeans Empire and The Tower of Babel?

The Bible says that they were getting so smart that God put'em in their place (kinda like the "Google slap"...look it up).   I tend to think that God, or you might wanna 'the hidden space aliens amongst us, won't take kindly to the kinds of things described and alluded to in this linked article.

What do you think?  Are we headed for a Brave New World?

God says what He means and means what He says..

Doesn't it make sense that any 'being' powerful and smart enough to be the real 'God' would be capable enough to express Himself pretty well?

Sure it does.

And do you think that such a god would have much patience with stupid opinions from mere humans in the  'pews'?

I don't think so.  I think the real God would probably be a pretty straight talking individual.  I think He'd be self confident enough to say what He meant and mean what He said.  And if you didn't like it, well......you could pretty well (literally) 'go to Hell'.

Having said that.....don't I recall reading in the Bible that Jesus said that anybody that adulterated or polluted His gospel with imported bullshit from some other religion would be in BIG trouble?

Yeah I do.........:-)

So that's why when I read in Frank Dimora's always excellent newsletter that a Presbyterian church in Houston is now mixing 'that good old-time religion' of Christianity with Muslim theology and doctrine I thought to myself, "Well, Jesus said this was going to happen....!"

I think it's bullshit.  I think a person needs to pick a religion and stick to it.  I think that Jesus is the only way to Heaven.  I still have a right(barely) to say that, don't I?

On the other hand, I'm kinda glad to see the news about this event in Houston because it just reaffirms to me that we are, indeed, living in the last days of this age.  Frank's site is: www.dimoraministry.com but here's the article he posted today:

Yasi, Queensland, Sugar and YOU

Cover of The Late Great Planet Earth

What's the connection between Cyclone Yasi that just hit Australia (in Queensland State), Sugar and You (and me?).

The connection is money.  Did you know that Queensland produces about 10% of the world's sugar?

Yeah, it does. 

I don't think the specific damage figures are out yet but you can bet it's going to be huge.  Acording the the article I'm linking here, world sugar and sugar futures prices were already going up dramatically because of the previous recent problems with flooding in Queensland.  Now they're undoubtedly going to go even higher.

Where does it effect you and me?

In our pocketbook, that's where.  More specifically...in our food budget.

Not only is raw sugar a product that people buy and use every day but sugar is also a vital component of a lot more of our other food items than you probably realize.

Faith at it's finest (?).....from 'the religion of peace'

Image via Wikipedia

The Christian religion doesn't have a spotless past but I don't think anything 'we' did  ever institutionalized and condoned violence, cruelty and brutality as much as the religon of Islam does.    Anybody who calls Islam 'the religion of peace' is a fucking idiot.

Look at these videos if you think I'm wrong.  And the 'religion' that condones this kind of thing, stoning, is the kind of religion that lots of Islamic leaders say should govern the whole world.

I hate to say it, but.....we made a mistake with Iraq

Image via Wikipedia

This article relates how Muslim vigilantes in Baghdad are raiding Christian oriented businesses and organizations and basically telling them to 'be more Muslim or get the hell out of our country'.

I hate to say it but I think we're in over our head again.  This time in Iraq.

I'm thinking more and more that, aside from our own societal problems those people in the Middle East are even more fucked up. 

They're never going to embrace democracy.  The Muslim religion is not a religion of peace or, for that matter prosperity, for anybody except the ruling elite.  If it wasn't for the oil in the Middle East, they'd all still be nothing but camel jockeys.

What will you do with Jesus?

Image via Wikipedia

I got most of my Bible knowledge back when I went to Church of The Living God in Galveston, TX....back around 1984.  Back then, "End Time" prophecy was a very hot topic amongst born-again Christian communities.    And also, I found it very interesting because I've always been interested in history.

And.....I remember one sermon which our pastor, Robert Dowdy Jr. gave. 

He was talking about one of the most critical questions that non-Christians have to make.   He told the story of tat history changing day or two when the Jews and church 'leaders' of Jerusalem at that time  delivered Jesus to Pontius Pilate in hopes that he would take responsibility and authority for 'getting rid of him'.

They were too chicken-shit to do it themselves....directly, right? :-)

So....Pilate pondered the situation and didn't feel personally that Jesus was anybody to be concerned about one or the other....much less the evil villain that the Jews were trying to make portray him to be.  So this is the way the Bible describes it:

Zion Oil and Gas.....another example of God's word fullfilled

This is an interesting story to me for two reasons.

First, because I'm interested in all the signs of God's word coming true.  Second because I worked offshore for a few years and I know a little bit about what goes on outhere.

Here's a linked quote from Frand Dimora's always interesting and inspiring daily newsletter:

After reading my warning from a year ago read this news was just released. The headline to this report reads as follows: “Central Israel Oil Discovery: 1.5 Billion Barrels” I quote, “Estimates of the amount of oil in the Rosh HaAyin discovery have rises to 1.5 billion barrels, and there is more oil off-shore, but it is not yet known how much of the “black gold” can be extracted for commercial use. The new estimate, along with the gas and oil finds off the Mediterranean Coast, raise the likelihood that Israel will be self-sufficient for energy for the next three decades and even become an exporter of gas. The amount of oil at Rosh HaAyin represents a tiny percentage of Israel's oil consumption, but development is continuing in the area as well as in the Dead Sea. Economists have noted that the discoveries will have a huge impact on society, creating more jobs and strengthening the shekel against world currencies.”

Now, here's two videos about Zion Oil and Gas itself.  For you Texans out there who read WanderingSalsero you'll be interested to know that Zion Oil and Gas is headquarted in 'Big D"...Dallas, Tx.

Mice Plague

Take a look at this video about the 1993 Mouse Plague in Australia:

Now....two points: Did you know that in China the same thing is happening now. But not only with mice. Now it's rats. They're eating up two thirds of their body weight a day of grain and other forms of food....even farm animals (if they can corner them). Yeah, I know it's crazy. But it's true. And what's not only true and crazy but maybe even scary is that this is one of the thing that Revelation (that's in the Bible...not a band's name :-) Jesus said this kind of thing would happen in the 'end times'. To see this kind of news happening today, for Christians, it's not surprising. Here's my friend Frank Dimora with more insight into the matter:

Prophecy Sign: In Luke 21: 11 Jesus shows us many last days signs to look for. I want to focus on the sign of pestilence. First, read exactly what was written. “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” In my June 17, 2010 report I stated the following: “Jesus in the Book of Revelation warned us that food was going to be a major problem during the seven year tribulation. We know this to be true from Revelation 6:6 where we see people working all day long for a handful of wheat or barley. Between the wars, droughts, lack of water, and pestilence there is going to be very little food left during the tribulation. What you are seeing showing up in the news now is only a prelude to things to come. What we are witnessing here are the birth pains as Christ warned. Since birth pains only get worse you can expect to see even more news like these Locusts and grasshopper plagues.”
